I came across this spot thanks to a friend who recommended it when I needed to use the restroom. It was so nice that I decided to stay for dinner before heading home—and I’m so glad I did!
As a vegan, finding satisfying meals can be challenging, but the California Grill and Bar did not disappoint. The lovely hostess seated me right away, and within minutes, Andres, my waiter, arrived. He was kind and incredibly accommodating to all my dietary restrictions.
The restaurant offers both an Impossible Burger and a Gardein Burger, but I decided to go for a veggie wrap. Unfortunately, they were out of gluten-free wraps, but Andres recommended a lettuce wrap instead, and it turned out to be a fantastic choice! The wrap was so big that I ended up unwrapping it and enjoying it with a fork and knife. The ingredients were incredibly fresh—the carrots were shaved thin, the tomatoes were thick and juicy, the red onions had the perfect crunch, and the sprouts were just right. The lettuce was fresh and had a satisfying snap to it, and the avocado was buttery smooth. I requested balsamic dressing on top, and it was so vibrant and flavorful that I found myself literally dancing in my booth!
The fries were also a highlight—perfectly crispy and fried in vegetable oil. To complete the meal, I ordered a strawberry lemonade, which was so delicious that I asked for a refill.
If you’re looking for a delicious vegan meal with fresh ingredients, California Grill and Bar is the place to go!
